[0023] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 The fatigue test device for crane pipes shown in the figure comprises a test bench 1, a threaded part is installed on one side of the upper end of the test bench 1, and two main clamping rings 5 ​​are symmetrically installed at the ends of the threaded part. The two main clamping rings 5 ​​are arranged horizontally and can adapt to the horizontal section of the crane pipe 36 for clamping. A test piece is installed on the other side of the upper end of the test bench 1, and the end of the test piece is connected to a frame 27. Two auxiliary clamping rings 8 are symmetrically elastically installed on the inner side of the frame 27. The frame 27 plays a role in bearing the auxiliary clamping rings 8. The two auxiliary clamping rings 8 are arranged vertically and can adapt to the horizontal section of the crane pipe 36. The vertical section of the crane pipe 36 should be tightly clamped, and a push rod 24 is slidably installed on the top of the frame 27. Both ends of the push rod 24 are connected to clamping frames 26. The push rod 24 drives the clamping frames 26 to move. One end of the two clamping frames 26 is respectively connected to the two auxiliary clamping rings 8, and the clamping frames 26 push the auxiliary clamping rings 8. The middle part of the push rod 24 is connected to a push wheel 25, and the side of the push wheel 25 is fitted with a ring rail 7. The ring rail 7 is connected to a threaded part, and the ring rail 7 can push the push wheel 25, thereby moving the push rod 24.

[0025] Guide posts 28 are fixedly installed on the lower parts of the opposite ends of the two auxiliary clamping rings 8. The two guide posts 28 extend from the front and rear ends of the frame 27 respectively. The guide posts 28 guide the auxiliary clamping rings 8. The guide posts 28 slide in conjunction with the frame 27. The ends of the guide posts 28 are coaxially inlaid with post caps 32. The outer sides of the guide posts 28 are wrapped with return springs 29. The post caps 32 are pushed by the return springs 29. One end of the return spring 29 is fixed to the post cap 32, and the other end of the return spring 29 is fixed to the frame 27. The return spring 29 can reset the auxiliary clamping ring 8 after movement.

[0026] A guide shell 33 is embedded in the side corner of the frame 27, and a rod guide seat 34 is slidably installed inside the guide shell 33. The guide shell 33 and the rod guide seat 34 guide the push rod 24. The rod guide seat 34 extends from the end of the guide shell 33. The end of the rod guide seat 34 is fixed to the push rod 24. A wheel seat 31 is installed on the outside of the push wheel 25. The wheel seat 31 supports the push wheel 25, and the end of the wheel seat 31 is fixed to the push rod 24.

[0027] A No. 1 lug 30 extends from the middle of the opposite ends of the two auxiliary clamping rings 8. One end of the clamping frame 26 is rotatably connected to the end of the No. 1 lug 30. The No. 1 lug 30 serves to facilitate the connection of the clamping frame 26. A No. 2 lug 35 is rotatably installed on the other end of the clamping frame 26. The end of the No. 2 lug 35 is fixed to the push rod 24. The No. 2 lug 35 serves to facilitate the connection of the clamping frame 26.

[0028] The threaded part includes a main frame 2 fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the test bench 1, and a connecting frame 4 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the main frame 2. The main frame 2 plays the role of supporting the positioning support ring 6. The end of the connecting frame 4 is rotatably installed with a threaded rod 12, and the connecting frame 4 plays the role of supporting the threaded rod 12. The threads at both ends of the threaded rod 12 are symmetrically arranged, which can drive the two threaded sleeves 14 to move toward each other, thereby driving the two main clamping rings 5 ​​to move toward each other. The outer surface of the threaded rod 12 is symmetrically tightened with two threaded sleeves 14, and the upper ends of the two threaded sleeves 14 are fixedly installed with a fixing ring frame 13. The fixing ring frame 13 plays the role of fixing the threaded sleeve 14 and the main clamping ring 5 together. The ends of the two fixing ring frames 13 are respectively fixed to the two main clamping rings 5. The end of the main frame 2 is fixedly installed with a positioning support ring 6. The positioning support ring 6 can position the crane pipe 36 so that the rotation center of the rotary joint of the crane pipe 36 can be coaxial with the load-bearing shaft 17 to ensure that the vertical section of the crane pipe 36 will not be hindered when it is subsequently driven to swing.

[0029] A guide frame 16 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting frame 4, and a concave groove 15 extends from the lower end of the threaded sleeve 14. The guide frame 16 and the concave groove 15 serve to guide the threaded sleeve 14. The concave groove 15 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide frame 16. A push ring frame 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of one of the threaded sleeves 14. The push ring frame 3 slides through the side of the main frame 2. On the one hand, the push ring frame 3 serves to fix the ring rail 7 and one of the threaded sleeves 14 together. On the other hand, the push ring frame 3 can slide on the main frame 2 to guide the ring rail 7. The end of the push ring frame 3 is fixed to the ring rail 7, and the center line of the positioning support ring 6 is collinear with the center line of the ring rail 7, which can ensure that the push wheel 25 always rolls on the ring rail 7 when the vertical section pipeline of the crane pipe 36 swings.

[0030] The test piece includes a sub-frame 9 fixedly mounted on the other side of the upper end of the test bench 1, and a load-bearing shaft 17 is rotatably mounted on the end of the sub-frame 9. The sub-frame 9 supports the load-bearing shaft 17, and the center line of the load-bearing shaft 17 is collinear with the center line of the positioning ring 6. A swing frame 18 is fixedly mounted on one end of the load-bearing shaft 17, and the end of the swing frame 18 is fixed to the frame 27. The swing frame 18 drives the frame 27 to swing. A gear 19 is coaxially inlaid on the other end of the load-bearing shaft 17, and a tooth plate 20 is meshed with the lower part of the gear 19. A T-shaped slide 21 extends from the side of the tooth plate 20. The tooth plate 20 can drive the gear 19 to rotate. The T-shaped slide 21 is slidably mounted on the sub-frame 9, and the T-shaped slide 21 guides the tooth plate 20.

[0031] A motor frame 11 is provided on the other side of the upper end of the test bench 1 near the side of the sub-frame 9, and a servo motor 10 is fixedly installed on the end of the motor frame 11. The motor frame 11 plays a role in supporting and fixing the servo motor 10. The output end of the servo motor 10 is inlaid with a frame ear 23, and the end of the frame ear 23 is rotatably installed with a push plate frame 22. The frame ear 23 plays a role in driving the push plate frame 22 to move. The end of the push plate frame 22 is rotatably connected to the tooth plate 20, and the push plate frame 22 plays a role in driving the tooth plate 20 to reciprocate.

[0032] During the test, the crane pipe 36 is placed on the positioning support ring 6 for positioning, and then the threaded rod 12 is rotated to drive the two threaded sleeves 14 to move toward each other under the action of the symmetrical arrangement of the threads at both ends of the threaded rod 12, thereby driving the two main clamping rings 5 ​​to move toward each other to hold the horizontal section of the crane pipe 36 tightly. In this process, the moving threaded sleeve 14 will also drive the ring rail 7 to move through the push ring frame 3, so as to push the push wheel 25 through the ring rail 7 to allow the push rod 24 to move. At this time, the rod guide seat 34 slides in the guide housing 33 to guide the push rod 24, so as to use the moving push rod 24 to drive the two clamping frames 26 to move, so as to push the auxiliary clamping ring 8. The two auxiliary clamping rings 8 move toward each other to hold the vertical section of the crane pipe 36 tightly. Then the servo motor 10 works to drive the frame ear 23 to rotate, and the rotating frame ear 23 drives the push plate frame 22 to move, so as to push the tooth plate 20, so that the tooth plate 20 can move back and forth. At this time, the T-shaped slide 21 slides on the auxiliary frame 9 to guide the tooth plate 20, so that the reciprocating tooth plate 20 drives the gear 19 to rotate, and then drives the swing frame 18 on the load-bearing shaft 17 to swing. At this time, the vertical section of the crane pipe 36 swings synchronously under the drive of the swing frame 18, so as to perform a fatigue test on the rotary joint of the crane pipe 36.
